Description

{F2014419}{F2014452}
A screenshot of the problem has been uploaded.
Question from unrealneowiki (Unreal_Neo Studios Encyclopedia).
While the issue was mostly an issue with the "Purge" operation prompting "Database Error," I actually have a "Displaytitles" related issue.
While the Wiki was working normally, the "Purge" operation worked normally and without any problems (although it failed a few times due to network issues), and because of this operation, I could always see the feedback on my Wiki and make changes to the typography, CSS, etc.
However, after the db141 database incident, although the Wiki has recovered from the brink of "data could disappear at any time", some problems still exist. Here are some of the problems that occurred in my Wiki:
For example, the DisplayTitles extension, which I had installed with the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} parser check on the corresponding page, didn't seem to work properly after something went wrong, and despite reinstalling it, the problem persisted.
Back to the Purge issues, after restored the Wiki data, I tried to use the "Purge" operation again, but it kept getting back "Database Error" and a piece of code that I didn't understand at all. I'm not sure what caused it, but the consequence of this issue, Pages that have changed their style or include embedded templates take a long time to refresh (pressing Ctrl+Shift+R doesn't work, I'm using Microsoft Edge Chromium Browser). .
So hopefully administrators will solve this problem sooner rather than later.
I am going to school soon, so I am not too eager to ask for these issues.

Finally, I would like to thank Miraheze again for providing the platform!

Could you please provide specific links to pages where issues happen?

Hi, just so you know, the DisplayTitle extension has very little to do with the {{DISPLAYTITLE:}} parser function. The extension merely makes it so that links to the page default to the page's display title which may be different from the page's actual title (this is changed with the {{DISPLAYTITLE:}} parser function. In order to have the parser function work, go to Special:ManageWiki/settings, and in the Parser functions section, make sure that the option "Allow Display Title" is enabled, and that "Restrict Display Title" is disabled.

The "Purge" action didn't work. I tested several pages and the feedback was "Database Error". Is there any solution?

the Wiki site is unrealneowiki.

The Wiki's language is Chinese (China) and may require you to bother with a translator to work... :|

Oh! I adjusted it according to your method and DisplayTitles really worked, thank you!

The database error is fixed. The comments table did not exist (had to disable and reenable the extension so the sql was executed so the table now exists).

Ok, now all the issues have been solved, thank you administrators!
